correct, im married, living in the states, my wife owns her home in BKK, I was assuming when I fully retire in a couple of years to move there full time and get a marriage visa but now I am not sure. My wife keeps saying marriage visa, she says easy. But reading all these comments, im wondering what's the main issue

I don't understand, the marriage visa renewal once a year, what makes it so complicated? What more could they be asking for besides proof that you're still married and you still have required money in your bank? Also what's the reporting requirement and is it done online?

He needs to go home, NOW! Thailand doesn't play well with overstaying.

If he's stopped by police for any reason he will end up in a jail cell.

great, we already paid off our house in BKK, so im thinking my SS is enough to retire on there. I have a small nest egg for all my traveling i want to do between Australia and Japan. I'll be looking for a bostonian though to get my Boston talk fix in. Maybe we will run into each other some day and the girls can chill. My wife is from issan also.

im from beantown also. Going to retire in Bkk, family has a farm near yasothon. What visa are you going to use to stay there? Im hoping to go full time before 65, within 5 years but depends upon my mother. I won't leave until she goes to see my dad. At 93, im really thinking she's gonna outlive me and im 60.
